What this section prints is decided by the calendar, not by anything the vendor did. 3 records here carry a date after 2026-11-14. The vendor has announced them and they have not taken effect, so they are not part of the history below. On its own date a record here joins the Pricing Change Timeline, below.
Functions on Azure Container Apps V1 retires on September 29, 2027. After that date V1 function apps stop running and stop processing requests and triggers. Migrate to Functions on Azure Container Apps V2, a native Container App with kind=functionapp, using the same container image and no function code changes in the standard path. Azure Functions and Azure Container Apps keep running. Source ↗

Gadget, the hosted platform for building web and Shopify apps, is shutting down. New applications cannot be started since November 9, 2026, and first-time deploys to production are allowed until the end of November 2026. Gadget support remains available until the end of 2026. Existing apps keep running until March 31, 2027, when the platform shuts down. Source ↗

Zeabur is shutting down. On December 1, 2026, Zeabur pauses every running service on its shared clusters, so shared-cluster apps stop serving that day unless restarted by hand, which Zeabur offers for backing up data. Dedicated servers cannot be renewed from December 1, so each one shuts down on the day its current term expires, even if that is before December 31. On December 31, 2026, all remaining dedicated servers and shared clusters stop. New dedicated servers and domains can no longer be bought since October 17, 2026. Source ↗

Every record we hold is listed here, newest first. A record is never removed from this list, so a vendor named here stays named here whatever its verdict does afterwards.
Val Town can be used until January 10, 2027, when all its services end. Val Town announced on 2026-11-10 that it is winding down: new signups and plan upgrades ended that day, and Val Town becomes read-only on December 10, 2026, except SQLite and blob storage. Billing is paused, and existing subscriptions continue free until the end. Source ↗
Deno Deploy keeps running for now. Deno announced on 2026-10-09 that it is joining Cloudflare and that Deno Deploy will keep running for six months and then shut down; Deno gave no exact date. Deno will help paying customers move to Cloudflare Workers. Source ↗
Fly.io raised the price of memory on Machines to $6.00 per GB a month, from about $5, and left CPU prices unchanged. Every preset includes memory, so every preset costs more: shared-cpu-2x with 512 MB went from $3.89 to $4.39 a month in Ashburn and Secaucus, and performance-1x with 2 GB from $31.00 to $33.00. The smallest, shared-cpu-1x with 256 MB, is now $2.19. Source ↗
Railway added a free VM accessible via `ssh railway.new` with no account or credit card needed. Each VM has 2 vCPU / 2 GB, preinstalled coding agents, and a preview URL. You have 60 minutes to build, then 24 hours to claim the VM into an account. Source ↗
On September 4, 2026, Cloudflare removed the compressed Worker size limits of 3 MB on Workers Free and 10 MB on Workers Paid. A Worker on either plan can now be up to 64 MiB, counted on the uncompressed bundle. Source ↗

Deno Deploy cut its Free plan's CPU time from 15 to 10 hours a month, memory time from 350 GB-hours to 150 GiB-hours, custom domains from 50 to 5, apps from 20 to 10 and team members from 5 to 3; 60 deployments an hour became 15 builds an hour, one at a time. KV read units went up from 450,000 to 1,000,000 a month and write units from 300,000 to 500,000. The pricing page changed between a Common Crawl capture of 2026-08-07 and our read on 2026-08-28.

Flightcontrol has been rebranded to Ravion. The free tier still exists, but has specific limits: 1 user, up to 50 modules, and 2,000 pipeline minutes. Unconfirmed. We could not check this change against an archived copy of Ravion's page, so it does not count toward the rating.Source ↗

The free tier now includes a $5.40/mo usage credit instead of a fixed amount of bandwidth and build minutes. Unconfirmed. We could not check this change against an archived copy of PandaStack's page, so it does not count toward the rating.Source ↗
By July 20, 2026, new Vercel Pro and Enterprise accounts use Elastic build machines by default, which scale between 4 and 30 vCPUs and bill $0.0035 per CPU minute. From February 2026 the default for new Pro projects had been Turbo, billed at $0.126 a minute. Vercel now lists Turbo at $0.105 a minute and Standard at $0.014. Source ↗
Fargate platform version 1.3.0 reached end of support on June 30, 2026. AWS blocked new tasks and services on it from June 15 and said it would terminate the tasks still running on it on June 30. Platform version 1.4.0 replaces it. Source ↗
From 2026-06-15, for new orders and rescales, Hetzner's EU cloud prices excluding IPv4 rose 30-38% on Cost-Optimized CX/CAX, 144-175% on Regular Performance CPX (shared resources) and 113-173% on General Purpose CCX (dedicated vCPUs). Existing contracts kept their terms. New dedicated servers also rose: the AX42 and AX102 cost €97.30 and €257.30 from 30 June, up from €57.30 and €122.30 after April in Germany. Source ↗
AWS App Runner closed to new customers. Service enters maintenance mode with no new features. AWS recommends migrating to Amazon ECS Express Mode for simplified container deployment. Source ↗
The Node.js 20 Lambda runtime (nodejs20.x) was deprecated on 2026-04-30. Lambda blocks creating nodejs20.x functions from 2027-07-29 and updating them from 2027-08-31; AWS's runtime page says "you can continue to invoke your functions indefinitely". Source ↗
Render replaced its workspace plans. Bandwidth for the Hobby tier went from 100 GB to 5 GB included per month, then $0.15 per GB, and Hobby workspaces are now capped at 25 services. New workspaces got the new plans on 2026-04-23 and existing workspaces moved on 2026-08-01. Free web services, Postgres and Key Value kept their specs, and free web services draw on the workspace's included bandwidth. Source ↗
ClawCloud Run shut down: its notice of April 23, 2026 suspended new sign-ups and purchases that day, and all services for free-tier customers ended on May 11, 2026. Source ↗
Netlify changed its credit rates: bandwidth went from 10 to 20 credits per GB and compute from 5 to 10 credits per GB-hour, while web requests went from 3 to 2 credits per 10,000. The Free plan keeps 300 credits a month, so each credit buys half as much bandwidth and compute. Source ↗
Form submissions are now free across all Credit plans (including the Credit Free tier) — previously each form submission cost 1 credit. Credit Pro also gained unlimited team seats (was $20/seat per Git contributor), which effectively removes the prior CMS/Identity 'every committer becomes a $19 Pro seat' gotcha for free-tier users who ever upgrade. Source ↗
Egress on the Free plan fell from 100 GB to 20 GB a month. Deno Deploy's pricing page changed between Common Crawl captures of 2026-03-15 and 2026-04-12. Source ↗
Hetzner raised prices on 2026-04-01 for new orders and existing products: cloud servers by 30-37% (CX23 €2.99 to €3.99 a month in Germany and Finland), load balancers by 31-39%, Object Storage's base price by 30%, dedicated servers by 2-21% and Server Auction servers by 3%. Superseded 2026-06-15: Hetzner ran a second adjustment across all cloud and dedicated lines, applying to new orders and rescales only. Read from hetzner.com on 2026-09-03: CX23 is €5.99 and is marked "not available", as is every other Cost-Optimized plan, and the cheapest orderable plan is CPX12 at €11.99/mo. Source ↗
New Pro projects now default to Turbo build machines (30 vCPUs, 60GB memory) at $0.126/minute — 9x more expensive than Standard machines ($0.014/min). Pro plan still $20/seat/month with $20 usage credit, but real-world build costs for moderate teams can hit $400+/month. Standard machines still available but must be manually selected. Source ↗
PythonAnywhere dropped its $5-a-month Hacker plan, so the base paid plan is $10 a month. New free accounts lost MySQL and scheduled tasks; unused free web apps now expire after 1 month instead of 3. Source ↗
From January 2026 Fly.io bills volume snapshot storage at $0.08/GB a month after the first 10 GB free each month; automatic snapshots were free before. Source ↗

Restructured to credit-based pricing for accounts created from 2025-09-04; Free projects pause when the month's credits run out. Accounts created before that date stay on their legacy plans unless they switch. Source ↗
Railway added a Free plan: after the 30-day trial, $1 of free credit a month. It first appears in the Internet Archive's 2025-09-03 capture; the 2025-08-24 capture has no Free plan. Source ↗
Railway's trial credit now expires. The one-time $5 grant, which previously did not expire, lasts 30 days. The Internet Archive's 2025-06-26 capture still says the credits do not expire; the 2025-06-30 capture says they expire in 30 days. Source ↗

At-Risk Vendors
All 1 of the 64 vendors we list in this category that carry one. A vendor is named here for as long as a demotion is in force against it: a one-off pricing event, recorded against a source we cite, whose date falls in the last 180 days — or a standing condition, also cited, such as a product retired or a free tier withdrawn and not restored, which does not expire with time. A demotion can lift with nothing about the vendor having changed, and that happens on the day the vendor's newest qualifying event passes 180 days.
All 32 of the 64 vendors we list in this category that qualify, not a selection of them. A vendor is named here for as long as no demotion is in force against it and we hold no change record for it dated in the last 90 days — any record, including ones the timeline above does not count. A vendor can join this section on a day we recorded nothing about it, when the later of those two clocks runs out: 90 days after its newest record, or the day the demotion against it lapses. It leaves on the day we file a new record, or the day we can no longer vouch for the terms we list.
